THE FIRST SESSION

In person or online - understanding what has brought you to therapy: underlying feelings, troubling or overwelming thoughts, situations or unwanted patterns causing distress etc. Beginning to tell your story, share your hopes or fears in a safe, confidential and respectful environment.

TYPE OF THERAPY

Psychosynthesis is a broad, open and hopeful system of therapy, where true self exists beyond the conflicts, dilemmas and behaviours that sap the joy out of life. I incorporate humanistic and integrative psychology, working in creative and soulful ways to suit your needs best, within a safe ethical framework. For more, see About Psychosynthesis)

 

HOW MANY SESSIONS?

How long therapy will take depends on each individual's background, needs, budget, consistency, willingness. I can incorporate short term or long term therapy, with an initial commitment for 6 sessions normally advised. I would be happy to discuss your needs in a free initial consultation  

YOUR FEELINGS MATTER

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
— Carl Rogers

When we can accept our mistakes as part of who we are, without condemnation, we free ourselves to grow and transform.

Guilt or shame often arises when we fail to live in alignment with our true selves, but by practicing self-compassion and self-forgiveness, we begin to bridge the gap between who we are and who we are striving to become. Therapy helps us to 'trust the totality' of ourselves.
